About Afke

An inner drive for a meditative practice led Afke to start painting. It has been proven that spending 45 minutes on an art project can reduce stress by 25% and that just one art experience per month can extend our life by ten years.
While working as a global director in multinationals, Afke really needed art to relax and distance herself from the day-to-day job. Our brains and bodies are transformed when we do art or look or listen to art and aesthetic experiences. This knowledge can improve our physical and mental health, help us learn and flourish, and enhance our connections.
As a therapist, Afke found that having a creative outlet is essential for a healthy lifestyle. 
Her works are mostly digital or in watercolour, but she also loves oil, pastel, and recently picked up acrylics.
